your one crazy cat i have never meet such an intense riddle you jerk lol
If I hadn't just done another puzzle of the very same style, I wouldn't have gotten it so easily.
i got it by chance. grt one
I'm glad it's enjoyable.
i love it
Very nice. I liked it.
A good teaser. The first and the last words pointed out to the answer.
For me it was pretty easy (rare) but its because, believe it or not, I am always trying to figure out what para means by thinking about all the words that have that prefix: paramedic, parameter,paradox, paranormal... Does anybody know exactly what the prefix means? I'll look it up if no one knows but I'd rather hear it here.
Thanks for the teaser!
Thanks for the teaser!
I actually got this one.
paradigm, paraphrase, parambulate, it seems to mean protect in some cases and around in others, but its not always one of those.paradise...paramour...
While 'para' has several meanings and usage, this teaser was par for some but 'para' (beyond) for other's skill. Good One.
After studying it for a few minutes, I got it. Thanks and keep up the god work.
i THOUGHT of a couple more: parasocks, parashoes, parapants,um... I think I better stop here. Ha ha, hee hee hehehe! Omg I'm funny!
China, that's very interesting that par means like equal, or average, (kinda) and para sometimes means beyond! Do they both really stem from the same root, or is it just co-inky-dinks?

i'm so glad i got this . i just got up and when i looked at this i thought i shouldn't even try . then, it was almost like divine intervention , i said PARA !!!!!!
Oh, I liked this one a lot!!
I have no idea why, but as soon as I took one look at the first two clues, the prefix "para" just 'came to me'! I guess I've had enough coffee this morning!
(finally didn't have to have a brain aneurysm to get one right!)

I luv it...great job...that's very interesting with the meaning of para, i guess I've never thought about that before!
Great one! I actually got it too! Keep 'em coming!
yay i got it!! but what does parebola mean?? ! good teaser!!
I hated geometry, so even after looking up parabola, it will take me awhile to figure out what one is, however, I did figure out the teaser.
Thanks for including one word that required actual research. After today, I will now be one step closer to knowing everything. (jk)

That is such a cute teaser! In fact, I just learned how to graph a parabala in Algebra last week... haha. That is prettty cool.
I loved this one. Found it very easy but no less enjoyable. It's nice to occasionally feel bright.
Is bola a word? It was pretty easy since I thought 'para' as soon as I saw 'bola'. I hadn't even read the instructions by that point.
A few of them stumped me. Great teaser, nonetheless!!!! Keep it up!! Awesome!!!
The first thing I thought of when I saw "bola" was "suave", heehee!
This was a good one. I really enjoyed it.
omg I so got this! I'm excited! lol I loved this teaser!! I looked at it and was spacing out and went "parabola! weird!!" and then read down the list, thinkin "whoa all these could have 'para' in front of them!" THEN read the directions! lol u know, I'm cool great teaser I wanna see more of these!
This is great! I usually don't get these, but I got it right away. Keep them coming!!!
Greatly enjoyed this teaser also Sgetammo. At times I wonder how you guys come up with some of these, but sure am glad yo do. I look forward to sharing these and the comments with you guys. Am starting to just read the comments and can almost tell who wrote them without looking at the names. You are being like writing friends. Am enjoying this group of "Headers".
Hey Vlerma, bet u can't tell who this is. ..Oh wait.
I suppose I should have put a little more thought into it but the first thing I noticed about the group of words were that they are in alphabetical order.
WOW good ONE!
nice try-boring-dont get it-dont take it personally-i hate english(class)-

I didn't figure it out, but, that's nothing new.
A bola is some kind of a weapon, isn't it?
